Boston, MA, 03/26/2013 –Idenix Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:IDIX) is currently trading at $3.65 down by 20.65%, a significant drop from its previous close of $4.60. The stock was trading in a range bound area since past four months and has breached that range to move southwards. IDIX declared on March 22, that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) have given its decision in the first phase of a patent dispute related to hepatitis C related to the chemical makeup, with Gilead Sciences (GILD),anddeclared GILD to be the “senior party”. IDIX alleged that the patent issued to GILD was in violation of patent applications. USPTO issued a decision that IDIX’s patent application was filed after Gilead, which makes GILD the “senior party’ and IDIX the “junior party”. This ruling was contrary to the previous decision of USPTO which had then declared IDIX to be the “senior party”. Though the declaration of being a “junior party” does not prove which party was the first to invent. This decision will require IDIX to provide further evidence to prove that it was the first one to invent. If IDIX wins then GILD might have to pay a slight royalty on sales of its hepatitis C drug sofosbuvir. The second phase will take place in the 2Q2013.
